Building uboot fails on Ubuntu Xenial with compiler-gcc5.h error

VIM1 Linux Kernel & U-Boot

I use decent version of Ubuntu Xenial but get following error when trying to build uboot:

  GEN     ./Makefile

That’s interesting why build process refers to compiler-gcc5.h while in system I have gcc 4.9 configured:

gytis@ubuntu-build-vm:~/khadas/android/uboot$ gcc -v

Can you hint me what could possibly be wrong? :slightly_smiling_face:

@Gytis . You can upgarde you gcc version.Do you know how to upgrade?

Thanks, this commit helped to solve the issue :slightly_smiling_face:

However I have next error below:

This is regardless which gcc version is used - tried with bothh gcc 4.9 and default 5.4.0.

Please use the default cross compile toolchain to build the u-boot.

The toolchain is:

gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf: https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.11/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi: https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.11/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz

I’ve installed them as documentation shows but still get the same result :neutral_face:

7

You build android u-boot or linux u-boot?

8

Android Oreo’s u-boot.

9

OK. Maybe @Terry @Waylon will help you.

Hi, Gytis
We will release Android Pie for VIM1 soon. Don’t pay more attentions for Android Oreo. Thanks.
